Do you find that you lose attraction towards your significant others after being with them for a long time, even if they would be considered gorgous? I don't think I do but I feel as though my boyfriend has towards me. Im not being conceded or anything but I am always being approached by other guys and have heard all the positive comments that people have made towards my looks so Im starting to think that its his issue, not mine. Its hard though cause as good as it feels to be get attention from others, he is essentially the only person that i actualy really want to be attracted to me and the one opinion that i actually really care about. Does anybody have a similar experience either in my position or comming from the other end (the one who is not as attracted anymore)? Do you know why this is?

Yeah thats exactly it. Like how come I can still be just as attracted to him as I was in the beginning. It seems like the sexual attraction part isnt very important to him but its making me see just how important it is to me. Like its starting to feel like were just friends and its making me want to be with other ppl which is completely out of charactor for me. I guess i really need to talk about it to him and let him. Have you tried talking to your bf about it yet?

If a relationship is based upon nothing but the attraction, or looks, then it can fall apart. A relationship needs to be built upon much more. If he just fancies you because you're good looking, that's not enough and cracks may start to show. There's a lot more to a relationship than looks, which it's whys it's important to spend tome together, get to know each other, to trust each other and such. So try doing more stuff together and see what happens.
